If Craig were here, I bet he'd be able to finish it! Hmm, wonder if Craig is a kind of proto Malcolm that didn't achieve critical IQ?

Re: I have a question about Craig

How about

pneumonoultramiciroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis--a form of lung disease caused by living around volcanoes. Or...

floccinaucinihilipilification--the act of deeming something worthless. Or...

antidisestablishmentarianism--opposition to the disestablishment of the church of England. Or...

Llanfairpwllqwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwlllantysiliogogogoch--A town in Wales

Did it explode yet, or shall I go on? :D

BTW, how in the world do they fit that on street signs and return address labels? Maybe TJ would know since he's form Whales. :)

(Edit--they don't have spaces. I copied and pasted and the forum keeps messing them up. You don't really think I know how to spell those, do you? :D)

MOD EDIT: See what I can do? hehe I can twist words into what I want them to say...
Or I can just say: Whales is now Wales.

I think it was deliberately renamed when the welsh gianed their own national language back, done for tourism, I think, the town, not the welsh language :D

Here's another one for you J:

Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu

85 letters, no spaces. It's the name of a hill in New Zealand and officially the longest name of a place in the world. Good luck figuring out how to pronounce that one! :D

I bet a lot of people who live there weren't too happy about it! Was this a long time ago or recently (forgive my lack of knowledge in English history.) I was reading that they usually just shorten it to Llanfair.

LOL! I finally figured out what you meant by that. I didn't even notice the H. I'm a little slow sometimes. ;) Sorry TJ!!:eek:

I think it was sometime in the mid 20'th Century, maybe the 50's or early 60's, don't quote me on this though :D

Either way, I'd hate to have a pen pal who lived there, the address on the envelope'd be longer than the letter. :eek:

So fundamentally what you’re saying is that there will be inauspicious repercussions if we persevere in our endeavor to beleaguer you? :D

You use your BRAIN to play a trumpet? I thought you used your lips!

@Wildcat- Yes.

@Vinny- Yes, you must read the music, send impluses to your lips, from your brain to buzz your lips and blow air through the mouthpiece, ytou must know what valves to press to make the proper tone and pitch also.
